1Take heed that ye do not your righteousness before
men, to be seen of them: else ye have no reward with your Father who
is in heaven.

2When therefore thou doest alms, sound not
a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in
the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you,
They have received their reward. 3But when thou doest
alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret
shall recompense thee.

5And when ye pray, ye shall not
be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the
synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen
of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.
6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber,
and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and
thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee. 7And in praying use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do: for
they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8Be not therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things
ye have need of, before ye ask him. 9After this manner
therefore pray ye. Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy
name. 10Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in
heaven, so on earth. 11Give us this day our daily bread.
12And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our
debtors. 13And bring us not into temptation, but deliver
us from the evil one. 14For if ye forgive men their
trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father
forgive your trespasses.
